Ten cosmetic products in the RAPEX rapid alert system this week

Ten cosmetic products were found this week in the RAPEX database of the European Union. An entry was made due to possible serious health hazards. The products are usually withdrawn from the market and destroyed. The duty of care was not sufficiently exercised and the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 were not met. The respective entries were made due to the following hazards:

Prohibited preservatives
Undeclared allergenic fragrances
Excessive chlorine content

Have both your cosmetic finished products and your raw materials regularly analysed for the presence of the substances listed above. Other residues such as heavy metals, pesticides, nitrosamines, PAHs, etc., fall within the scope of analysis offered by the BAV Institute and its Tentamus laboratory partners.
